Cider

By **** it's good. I've not drunk it properly since my teens, like you
do but I've been drinking this stuff called Westons (cloudy) cider and
it's fucking lethal!

 

I've mainly been drinking bottles of Hobgoblin with the occasional
bottle of Broadside to add variety to the day. A couple of cans of
Fosters plus some Czech lager have been consumed somewhere along the
way and the evenings have been capped with either glasses of port or
gin and tonic. I might force a few bottles of trappist nonsense down
my neck later in the week but that depends on availability.

I like xmas because it's a good excuse to keep topping up the alcohol
level.

I love Westons cider. I used to live about 8 miles from the factory from
1978 to 2002. Their products are integral to a number of events in my life.
I blame their Stowford Press for making me forget, for 6 months, that I'm
queer and the concomitant impregnation of the barmaid in my local pub....

 

Yer drinking Old Rosie. Yer wanna try their Vintage Organic Cider.
Similar strength, similar effect, just nicer to drink.

Incidentally, Weatherspoons are selling both of them on draught....
Y'all take care there, boy!!

Dave.

Big Dave emerged from their own little world to say

A press is a device for extracting juice from the fruit.

Cider making involves other processes.

Messrs Bulmers & Westons have industrialised these processes. The premises
where these processes take place in Herefordshire are known as factories.

Googling for "cider factory" gets 866,000 hits[1]. It would appear that the
term has common useage elsewhere too.



[1] some are for computer software admittedly

 

Ferger wrote such purple prose as warranted a reply:

.....but Googling for "cider press" [1] gets about a tenth of that and if
you restrict it to UK sites it's only 25,600 hits.

Fucking hell, I'm bored.

It's probably not what the connoisseurs would choose, but I tend to find
that Sainsbury's Vintage Cider goes down rather well and generally has
the desired effect! ;-)

 

Not Bad.

Absolutely The Best Cider : Hancock's
Never seen it in a pub - only ever seen it for sale at their PRESS and a
Doncaster Beer Festival.

Dunkerton's Organic Dry.

The only cider I've ever marked 14 out of 10 at a cider festival.

Just before getting thrown in the nettles and urinated on.

Dunkerton's Organic Dry. It rocks!

 

Googling for 'impregnating the local barmaid' gets 504 hits.

So were the barmaids.

 

As in Dunkerton near Peasedown St John?

 

I wish I could rememebr the cider I ended up drinking at the Bristol
beer festival, but I can't, because it worked.

Anyhow, whatever it was, it was proper, and fairly flat, and very
drinkable.

....then my legs went funny.

 

Probably not...

Dunkertons is on the Black and White Trail in Herefordshire.

As an aside, I feel the need to get pissed with you soon. Not UKRM
pissed, but properly pissed. Are you about over the New Year?

 

A mate once claimed he got shit-faced cider that made him hallucinate
Its never happened to me - yet.
Has anybody else had that?

I'd call that a result!

 

I used to love cider till about 3 years ago it started making me puke for
England. I can get absolutely arseholed on anything else and I don't chuck
or have hangovers, give me 1/2 pint of cider and I'm chucking within the
hour. It seems to give me a really bad acid feeling in my throat.[1]

I used to love Brody bottles when I was a kid and I too liked most of
Westons range. I'd even stoop to Strongbow when necessary.


[1] I was worried I had an ulcer or something that it was affecting but I
have no problems with anything else so I guess it must be something in the
apples.

 

And the effect was obviously permanent. Imagine what could have happened
if he'd washed his hair in it...

 

Wanna bet?
